"What would you do with revival?"

"What would you do with revival?" It's an interesting question....We are promised revival in Doctrine & Covenants 163.

I finished my 40 day fast on Tuesday, February 9. It was called by Evangelist Bev Moor during the CCM Leadership Summit in November 2009. He challenged us to ask God what we need to change about ourselves and to focus on the challenges faced by the church going into World Conference 2010. I could not do a food fast like I was originally planning so I decided to fast from facebook games and TV. I could not do the fast because I came down ill with a bad sinus infection starting on New Year's eve and before that I spent at onething09 in downtown KC with IHOP-KC. Being ill is not real conducive to a food fast so I switched to the above which I was spending too much time with facebook games and TV. I have had good TV fasts before. I used to do these before I got more into food fasts after reading Mahesh Chavda's Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting.

I am not big on Lenten fasts. I'm not Catholic, but I still decided that I wanted to do another fast. I will trust God to give me strength to get through this second one.

I did not do very well with Bev's challenge about journaling and asking God what to change. I am getting that challenge with my Faith Bible College classes and with the Spirit's prompting. I have another Chavda book from onething09 called 40 Days of Prayer & Fasting which I want to use with this fast.

I need to share a testimony from the 40 day fast from January 1, 2010 to February 9, 2010. On February 8, I felt that God wanted me to share with Dr. Nick, CEO & founder of Faith Bible College here in Independence, MO. I have been real impressed at his messages regarding getting beyond division and denominations by focusing on Jesus and what we have in common. I was focused during the fast after feeling better on my church and WC 2010. I, however, felt that God wanted me to ask Dr. Nick this question: "What would you do with revival?" I did not even feel that I needed an answer, but I told him about the fast, and we talked along with his "bishop?" Pam, another member of FBC. I've been really impressed at the feel at Faith Bible and the mixing of white, black, Latino, and more. We talked and then prayed, and the Spirit confirmed this question along with a discussion of the answers. We were blessed by the Spirit which confirmed to Dr. Nick the question, and we lifted Dr. Nick, his team, Faith Bible up for revival, a mighty move of the Spirit, and for God's blessing. I feel that confirming even now.
